RE: Stagecoach Chester & Wirral
I've just gone past chester depot and yn04gnu is in there. Possibly transferred from rf? I know a couple of the YK53 eclipses have transferred from chester to rf so maybe some solars have come to chester. Can anyone help. Also i havent seen YN05WKK for a while. Is it out today?

This was one of the ones supposed to be for the city sightseeing tour. so im suprised to see it in a green livery.

I've done some digging. It looks like the city sightseeing franchise has been bought out by stagecoach and they are going to do there version of the tour. Dont think city sightseeing will like this but there you go. Another one of the buses in this livery is LX51FLR. link and some info in the comments. http://www.flickr.com/photos/60708994@N0...GYi-dKbCLu credit to richie b on flickr

I guess it was a no brainer that First would be doing their own city tour once they began appearing in green. But can anyone clarify have they paid City Sightseeing to get out of town, or are they going to compete with CS who will need to find a new vehicle provider for their tours?
There's nothing on the CS website to indicate they're ceasing.

To the best of my knowledge, it is a case of buying out of the franchise completely. I believe next year/this winter is when the change will actually happen, so for the moment its a little early to expect the websites to say anything.

If Stagecoach are planning on running the Chester tour themselves will this mean a revision on the current ticket prices and like other Stagecoach Open Top Routes, will they start accepting ENCTS passes?
